A price suggestion is useful when you can inspect the evidence behind it. A confident number without the correct model, condition or market is a poor basis for listing a secondhand item.
Start with the exact item
Record the model, variant, size, included accessories, working condition and visible faults. A sealed copy, an opened complete copy and a damaged incomplete copy are different offers. Avoid combining them simply because their titles match.
Inspect the comparables
For each comparison, ask whether it is a completed sale or an asking price, when it occurred, where the buyer and seller were, and whether shipping was included. Keep unusual bundles and uncertain matches separate. If the evidence is thin, preserve that uncertainty instead of manufacturing a narrow range.
A useful recommendation includes the suggested range, the relevant examples and the reason for any condition adjustment. It should also explain when no reliable recommendation is available.
Decide what the price is meant to achieve
A seller seeking a quick clearance may make a different decision from a collector willing to wait. Set your minimum acceptable proceeds after costs, then review the recommendation against that constraint. Use the fee calculator with the applicable account and market assumptions.
Keep the decision trace
Save the original ask, chosen ask, date and reason. If you later change the title, photographs or postage, record those changes too. A subsequent sale cannot automatically be attributed to price.
